SHAFAQNA- Iqna: Islamic parties and groups in Sudan slammed the transitional government’s push for normalizing ties with the Zionist regime of Israel.
According to Arabi21 website, Mortadha al-Toum, secretary general of a coalition of Islamic parties known as “Supporting Sharia and Government of Law”, called for demonstrations against such moves and attempts aimed at promoting secularism in Sudan.
“We will stand against such measures like a strong barrier,” he stressed, speaking in a press conference in the capital Khartoum.
Mohamed Abdul Karim, another senior political figure attending the press conference, said the country’s December uprising that led to the ouster of former president Omar al-Bashir was not meant to promote secularism.
He underlined that the Sudanese people are devoted Muslims and Islam is a red line for them.
Sudan’s military earlier this year toppled and then arrested Bashir, putting an end to his nearly 30-year rule. It also formed a transitional military council to run the country.
